$1.2M bounty for cop-killer may be rescinded

Last month when ex-Los Angeles cop Christopher Dorner went on a killing spree throughout Southern California, a conglomeration of public and private organizations offered up a reward for his arrest and conviction topping $1.2 million.

But now at least some of those who offered the rewards are retracting their offers. Why? Because the murder suspect was never arrested, he is believed to have killed himself during a siege with law enforcement officers.

At least two or three people have laid claim to the reward so far, a couple who was tied up in their condominium by the fugitive and a camp caretaker he carjacked shortly afterward have laid claim to the prize, and others could be in line for much of the money that authorities hoped to dole out by mid-April.

Both parties claim they provided the key tip that ultimately led Dorner to hole up in a vacant mountain cabin where he apparently took his own life after a shootout with police. He killed four people, including two police officers, during his rampage across Southern California.
